Interface for Adaptive Braking Assistance

The function "Adaptive Braking Assistance" implemented as a co-ordinated strategy by the DSC and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go function is also available on the F01/F02. It is a function that was previously introduced on the E60/E61 LCI.

The interface relates to two functions on the Dynamic Stability Control:

"Brake standby" can be activated by a request signal transmitted by the ICM control unit. That happens when a potential collision situation has been detected with the aid of the radar sensors. And, of course, "brake standby" is also activated if the internal DSC criteria familiar from previous models are met (minimum speed, rapid release of accelerator pedal).

The threshold for triggering dynamic braking control can be influenced by ACC Stop&Go. If a potential collision situation is detected, the ICM control unit sends out a signal requesting lowering of the activation threshold. To be precise, the activation threshold is the rate of increase of brake pressure applied by the driver that has to be exceeded in order to dynamic braking control (braking assistance). That makes it easier for the driver to trigger dynamic braking control. This function is the only means by which a driver braking hesitantly can activate dynamic braking control.
